Patrick Ramsey's Future

[dirtbag2112]

It's amazing to me how many people don't realize that in Ramsey's last seven starts (take away that Giants game) he had a passer rating of roughly 85 and a completion of right around 65%. Patrick came very close to leading us in a victory against the NFC champs/chumps Eagles. I personally do not doubt his ability at all. As far as Campbell goes, I think that our staff just felt like he was too good to pass up and not necessarily PR's replacement. Following the draft I heard a lot of experts say that Campbell was actually rated higher than Aaron Rogers on atleast 10 teams boards. We can all question why we gave up so many picks for the 25 spot, but if anyone listened to Gibbs after the draft he gave some explanations and some insight as to why we gave up so much. Ramsey is the man like it or not.

I like Ramsey too, but just to be a fly in the ointment, not too many of those passes were over ten yards. It's easy to complete screens.

True, but look at McNabb who until last year didn't have a single season completion percentage above 59%, and that's playing in a west coast system full of short passes and screens.

We shouldn't fault Ramsey for being accurate with the short stuff. It's easier said than done.

Um, yeah, until he threw up a jumpball to brian dawkins and i believe sheldon brown when we were down by 3 in fg range. also, i think the defense had something to do with us being in that game, holding the prolific birds to only 17. There's no doubt that Ramsey can peform for periods of time, but then he goes and makes a play like that which costs us the game. Remember, the difference between Manning and Mcown is very slight - alot of it is plays like that.
